It's like he's talking to an actual kid, but just replaced the kid-friendly talk with gruesome details. Seeing Hunter as a kid in this situation makes that image even funnier 😂
isaiah talking to hunter like a toddler on the verge of throwing a tantrum, consoling him with the idea of the story containing more violent kiddy death, is so funny actually. not even a quarter of the way into the video. i love creepcast so much
The funniest thought is oompahville just off camera looking at his watch waiting for wendigoon to finish filming so they can play with model trains or some shit.
One thing that they didn't discuss much but felt REALLY powerful to me was at the end when Danny basically forces our protagonist to go through with his decision. His voice being first described as being like "cold steel" but yet "hardening even further", as if he himself has to steel himself for what's to come and building up a cold facade to bear it. And then when our protagonist wants to back out his facade cracks and he forcibly turns him around and fully breaks when he shouts "“DO IT! You made your choice! It will all be over soon! This is your only CHANCE!” If what he said is true and he was once "in the same place but chose differently" and you actually only get one chance at that then I can only imagine how much that experience would grind you. He must curse the day he was too afraid to feed the pig, now being shackled to this plane and his role in it. Him basically having to watch countless souls arrive disoriented and scared and them then slowly deteriorating into the depraved monsters we see today. That has to break you on so many levels and when you see someone finally being so close to their ONE CHANCE at freedom, you definitely want them to take that chance
That's a cool take! I imagine another possibility is that when Danny says he hates Suicidals at the beginning, he doesn't really hate them but rather he's sick of seeing so many of them pop up. Like "Oh god, another one? When are these people going to learn?" kind of thing.
Could be that each soul he escorts to the pig, who make it through, becomes a small victory to him. I feel like that might tie into what Hunter said about him being an angel of sorts. Makes me think he's more like an angel in the making, through his own mistake, rather than succumbing to the same detereoration as the others, he's bringing a sliver of humanity and possibility of the redemtion he'll never see, to the souls still facing the choice.
I also think Danny purposefully not saying anything about what Feed the Pig was to subtly manipulate MC into making that decision. Because he knew that it would be a much harder choice if MC knew exactly what Feeding the Pig entailed.
Isiah, his face a mask of dry humor, remarked, "Maybe they'll bring in another kid and shoot em in the face again." Hunter, eyes downcast and filled with a quiet despair, muttered just loud enough to be heard, "You think?"
To escape suicide, you have to put yourself through unimaginable pain and horror, forcing yourself to fight for life against all odds. Very resonant with continuing to live even in the depths of depression
Yeah I’m feeling this while I battle with chronic illnesses. Keep fighting through doubts of a cure until I either have no life left, or miraculously beat the odds
@@GriffinK10if you fight, you have SOME chance of winning, whether the chances be favorable or very small. If you don’t, you have no chance. The human mind and sheer determination to live on has been shown to make a difference. Likewise, giving up and resigning to the worst will essentially make it come even faster.
Not gonna lie, Hunter becoming a sad dissapointed child and Isaiah conforting him like a parent is one of the funniest and most surreal things Ive seen in this podcast so far
Hunter laughing at something particularly shocking and Wendi scolding him for it like a Sunday School teacher who is at his limit might just be my favorite recurring gag in this podcast.
"Listen, I know you cheated, but I hanged myself today and was fully gonna make you find my body just to fuck with you, can we just call it even and have this be goodbye?"
Isaiah: "Do you think this is the voice our audience deserves?" Also Isaiah: "Hiiii it's meee Jeff Goldblum! I love my son Ben Drowned Goldblum!" Those of you who think any of the bants in this video carry any actual venom are adorable. Protect that innocence.
Lol nah, Hunters purposely stupid ass voices rip me right out of the story every time. Folks are good with commentary, but actually making the story itself sound ridiculous it something else.
@@bspitler0Agreed. I actually get kinda mad when Wendi is really crushing the narration, because I know the protagonists next line is going to be in some weird baby-voice.
@@joshwalton25this isn’t a narration channel, hunter makes it entertaining. These are like juvenile horror stories, the idea that we have to treat them like classic cinema is retarded, this is for fun
Isaiah gentle parenting Hunter when he gets upset about the twist is so funny to me. The "it's hell you could shoot tons of kids in the face, maybe even the same kid. Would you like that?" I love you guys
Lol this made me literally not even care about finishing the episode, thanks. I'm so tired of boring old allegories about religion I would have been disappointed in spending the time.
I completely understand where Hunter comes from when laughing at extreme gore or moments like the child getting his head blown off. It’s something so extreme and almost ridiculously gory that it triggers me to laugh because it’s so fucked up. Like when the daughter died in Hereditary, it made me laugh not because it was funny, but because it was so insane.
Especially when it’s early in the story and so abrupt. I laughed too because we’d barely gotten our bearings in the setting when suddenly child death. In a story like this you have to play those cards early and only get worse from there, but from a first time reader’s perspective it is almost comically sudden.
Danny enters the room and sees the subject in the chair, jittering with glee in his bindings. He lets out a sigh Danny:”… the pig?” Vore Lover: “ THE PIG RAAAAAAHHHH 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅”
Their dynamic is perfect. Hunter is either making light or shitting on things while Isaiah is either incredibly defensive or actively making fun of Hunter. It is a perfect concoction for giggles.
You think so? I feel like it's getting a little awkward lol. Like they low-key argue off camera or something. That might just be me being parasocial but I get the vibe that things aren't super peachy IRL 😂 I hope I'm wrong of course, I love both of those dudes a ton
What if Tommy Taffy was one of the Pig's creations? Like he tried to make a guardian angel to teach good lessons, but he made a hollow doll who could only corrupt love?
Wendigoon asking does Papa like the story every two minutes is the same vibe as my nan asking me if I like what she's cooked before I've even started eating
“You get one question” “So… what’s the upward mobility look like here? Like, is there any chance of promotion, rise through the ranks, become the one who wields the shotgun rather than the one who gets shot?”
"You get one question" "Well not to turn the interview around here but, what's one thing you as an employee wish you had more control over in the workspace here?:
Maybe I'm being dumb and this is super obvious, but it came across to me that when they were talking about where you went (life or hell) depending on what you tasted like, coupled with the fact that you are supposed to keep crawling forward, made it seem to me like the choices you made while inside the pig mouth are what determined where you went, not actually what you tasted like. The author is literally hanging by a rope. If he gives in to the pain and gives up, then he gets chewed up by the pig, dies, and goes to hell. He's given up and would rather die. If he really, truly wants to live, then he endures the incredible pain of being chewed alive, while still persevering further into the mouth like he was told to do. If he can push through all that pain and still has the will to live, then he reaches the end and makes it out alive with a new sense of value towards the life he was ready to give up. It's like a really fucked up Saw movie, if you think about it.
As a fan who lives too far away to attend any of the tour- thank you for recording the event for us all. It means a lot that you’re making it possible for all of us to enjoy this. You guys are awesome and you clearly care about your fans
This is the first one that has actually made me gag, the idea of being eaten alive and not passing out and feeling individual parts of you being crushed is just horrific
"I'm sorry Hunter... is something funny?" gets me every fucking time dude. I'm already laughing along with Hunter and when Isaiah says that I lose it even harder.
@Godlysound breakfast foods is all fats and sweets in America so I kind of relate to this. There's only so many times we can use bacon to enhance a meal lol
As someone who has had suicidal thoughts before. I think the story is more trying to convey the very moment someone commits suicide from the sudden pain to the near instantaneous regret many suicide victims go through during the act of committing suicide. A lot of survivors have talked about what it was like for them in that very moment and the story started to remind me of their experiences
I really like this interpretation. A representation of those unimaginably horrific and painful microinstants of regret after taking the plunge. Even if you make it back, the experience will have left its mark on you.
it like really makes u think that like whatever ur struggling with rn it’s worse on the otherside if u make that decision like just emphasizing that anything ur living through is better than whatever death awaits cuz even in the story there is no option to get to heaven
Wendigoon and Hunter talking about how bad the main character getting eaten was described meanwhile they didn’t have to hear the awful chewing and crunching that made it so much worse. thanks for that editor
I have two theories. The first one is with the idea that you either go back to life or go to hell. I think if you give up when you said you would feed the pig at any time, you go to hell. Even when you are already in its mouth, if you let the pig chew you and you do not go for the stomach, you will experience this pain forever and that is hell. The other theory, is that you are never going to go to hell. If you need yourself to the pig, you will go back to being alive. And it wont matter when it happens. You can stay there for hundreds of years, and still go back to life if you feed the pig. It just gets harder and harder the more you stay, the more you see and the bigger your fear gets. I think Dannie intentionally says you might go to hell to check your resolve. And he liked the protagonist that is why he did not explain anything and put a blindfold on him. He probably knew that if he explained it or saw the pig, the protagonist would never feed the pig.
I agree with the second theory and a big point made in the story is that game ending is cowardly. It’s giving up, it’s going down the hall and opening the door to the unknown because you’re too scared to face the world, too feed the pig
I really feel like the pig sequence has two allegories: it sounds like being reborn, since you are being pushed inside flesh and it feels like it simbolizes having to endure hardships to live instead of just lying and dieing, you HAVE to crawl.
Exactly, you have to FIGHT through the pain. Whereas many suicide victims fought through mental anguish of such a high degree, they have to fight through physical, /real/ pain, to be redeemed.
i feel like its just more of a metaphor of what being rly suicidal is like. :o each day you gotta decide to either feed the pig (and feel the excruciating pain of life) or give in (aka 'choosing fear' like the lady described). just my take tho :o
The rebirth concept came to my mind as well while I was listening. The entire scene was so absolutely perfect in my opinion, so profoundly visceral yet urgently hopeful as he’s literally being eaten alive.
Idk if you guys mention this, but Danny screaming "this is your only CHANCE!" quite pointedly says that Danny does want people to overcome the fear and correct their mistakes. He's probably so jaded because he's seen COUNTLESS people fail.
i took "this is your only chance!" as a direct way of saying that you only have one chance at life,, looping back around to the protag regretting trying to commit suicide,, and maybe danny as well. but this story is so well crafted, as you pointed out, hes so jaded from seeing people fail, and is very clearly nihilistic and depraved,, yet he's still so human in the fact he wants others to live even if he can't.
I took that line as maybe saying that he might've tried to feed the pig before but he ran. His blindfold got torn or smth and he ran away and now he doesn't have that chance anymore (i think in the beginning of the story they said that he had a cloth hiding his face but one eye was showing)
The act of forcing yourself through the terrifying giant pig's mouth as the only option to save yourself from agony makes me think of the strength and bravery it takes for people who are suffering to wake up and keep going every day. Feeding the pig is just like facing reality right in it's face, which is sometimes horrifying and painful. Amazing story 😭
I thought feeding the pig was ultimately giving up vs enduring the hellish torture in the black place. OP just got lucky and feeding the pig got interrupted like divine intervention.
I think the story is actually kind of a metaphor for the question of suicide itself. If you're suicidal, you're in the black farm. Not quite hell, but pretty close. Do you choose to stay there and suffer? Or do you choose to feed the pig? Which in this case I think can be seen as either doing the deed and damning yourself to death, or pushing through the pain and work it takes to get your life back.
I sorta agree although I think choosing to stay on the black farm is the act of suicide, because even though we sorta get an idea of what the black farm maybe we just don’t know. Just like how you just don’t know what happens when you die
I just wanna say, I love Hunters voice acting. Even when it sounds silly. I don’t think it’s mocking in any way. What I love about this podcast is that even though the content is scary, Hunter adds that small element of humor to it. Whether it’s the voice acting or the comments he makes. I personally still enjoy the stories and get a good laugh at the same time. It doesn’t negatively impact the experience for me at all.
There's another installment in the feed the pig series that actually does expand the lore of the black farm more, and it's legitimately one of the coolest horror worlds I've ever heard described.
There are two full length novels. You can get them on audible. It's actually really well written although some of it feels like it's trying too hard. Regardless, I highly recommend it. Books are titled "Black Farm" and "Return to Black Farm."
To me, and I'm only 52 minutes in rn, is that the difference between Hell and this place is: The Black Farm is forgotten. Hell is managed, punishments dolled out, demons overseeing your punishment, it's like the most twisted prison on the planet. The Black Farm isn't run. It isn't managed. Just souls left to run around for eternity doing whatever they want to each other. And the sin took over, and the pig only cares about being fed. The things in the Black Farm say hell is worse, but thats because from their view, you lose the agency despite the entire realm being suffering. But to the average human, The Black Farm is worse, as anything can do anything to you at any time for no reason, even if you were a good person that just killed yourself. At least in Hell, you deserve what you get and you have an idea of what's coming depending on if they tell you your punishment. The Black Farm is hell's answer to Purgatory. Or it's what became of Purgatory. Also YES Hunter is right! I'm only 25 and yet even though I still love the TASTE of bacon, the smell has become this almost like.... its a greasy meat smell that when cooking just flips my stomach.
The other thing that gets me is (spoilers for those who are just showing up: Because of the ending, it could very well be the entire freaking thing could have been his death throws. I dont think it happened the split second before he dropped. I think he dropped, and this happened while he was flailing and suffocating to death. His neck didn't snap. And in those moments as his brain is sputtering, flailing for life, he has his life run through his mind at the start, and it's all his fears of what death is like. And then the rope breaks, and he "snapped back to reality." I could be real. But it also could be just his mind giving him a second chance as the shitty rope did.
@@casandra0 Exactly, and the fact Isaiah and Hunter even brought up and compared it to Outlast further illustrates the point. God and the Satan didn't know what to do with them. So they put them there, and forgot about them, with only the pig left to run it. And the pig just wants fed. Feed me Seymour. The only thing to make me question if this is Hell's version of Purgatory or if it's Purgatory itself is the fact only suicides go there. So what about the good people that never heard of god? Since they didn't commit the sin of suicide, do they go to the clean and managed purgatory? Is Purgatory just this but the good people won out and where this is anarchy, Purgatory is like a holy republic where you live and learn about God until you work off your sins? Why a *farm* for suicides? So many questions and hypotheses.
@Boomstickfan495 Well, technically, good people who never heard of God might not go to Purgatory but rather Limbo, which is technically a place in Hell. The difference is mainly that while Limbo isn't particularly awful in itself, it's still a fundamentally hopeless place because you're eternally stuck in a godless locale. Purgatory will make you suffer directly, but you're working towards an escape via ascension into heaven.
As someone who has struggled with mental health my whole teenage and adult life, attempted suicide once, and considered it on innumerable occasions, a story like this is uniquely horrifying and thought provoking. Suicide often gets villified through various outlets but never truly acknowledged for how agonizing it can be to be locked in those thought processes. Horror like this gets me bc it hits very close to home in ways I wish I didnt have to acknowledge. Wendi and Meat are like my celestial guardians guiding me through this horror story so ty for all you do kings. Seeing y'all in Oct on tour and im insanely excited!!!!!
this comment reminded me of the way I feel about various themes in Yellowjackets, some similar. perhaps you would enjoy Yellowjackets as well, considering, though massive content warning, ofc. I kinda need Wendigoon to watch Yellowjackets and discuss it on his channel so bad lol. wishing u the best :)
>Wake up imprisoned with people in a similar situation >Given a painful goal to achieve >The world was different some time ago but has since fallen apart >In a world of incomprehensible horrors and monsters that just want to torture you >When you die you come back worse than before >Choice to stay and go insane or run the risk and go journey This is actually the Dark Souls lore
Honestly the whole time I listened to this and all I could think was that this was literally the demon souls game And the pig reminded me of the first boss fight
This also provides a good reason as to why anyone would want to torment themselves by linking the flame in that world, instead of just letting it go out. Not only is it prolonging the "life" of the world around you, but also potentially escaping this hellish (or nice now, but once again hellish in the future) place yourself, even if it hurts immeasurably to do so. It's not even like the "canon" lore contradicts this either, as far as I'm aware, since those who did went "hollow" but what happens to the consciousness of someone who does so is unknown, as none remain after to answer those questions. For all we know, and for all the people of that setting know, the conscious mind escapes that utter mess and is freed, but all we and they see is the husk left behind, burning away.
This podcast made me buy both of the black farm books. Unironically some of the best (and possibly most depraved) horror books ive ever read. Keep the content coming gents, yall have been showing some serious gold here
that whole chewing scene really reminded me of the crowd being abducted in Nope… the walls squeezing and squelching around them, all the screaming. so good
My husband's birthday on the 31st, and he had himself convinced you guys would do Stolen Tongues this week-one of his all time favorites-so he was bummed and is now moping around the house saying, "well, they probably won't do it anyway..." Therefore my (and his) vote for next time is "My romantic cabin getaway"! Thank you both for wonderful Sunday entertainment!
i got caught off guard with how well Isaiah handles Hunter at the start like he’s handling a grumpy child, then i remembered this guys a sunday school teacher lol
It was literally the joke. Its kind of annoying how everyone in the comment goes "have you all noticed that he talked like a child?😭😭" yes, it was the obvious joke, evryone noticed and the bit was just that, à bit @hrznphntm9131
@@jojoadac9400 no shit it was a bit, i’m specifically talking about what words isaiah chose, it’s exactly what someone who has dealt with kids/teenagers before would say
For the horror of it, I hope this helped some folks going through a bad time. Getting a jolt as to the potential consequences, the pain involved, the potential for perseverance, this is by far my favorite story you've covered.
The way I interpreted it is that the "you go to hell or come back to life" is more of a fake threat. Like if you actually commit to it then you're definitely going back to life, but the fear of going to hell is what makes the decision "brave" enough to have value. So when Danny did all of those things it seems like he was heavily trying to give the protag every reason not to stay and to help him move closer towards just feeding the pig.
Yes! I totally agree. I just wrote a comment just like this. I think that the black farm is an in-between of live and hell for suicidal people. It asks "did you really want to die? Or were you just hurting and afraid?" And if you're willing to go through something worse to get back to that "bad life" because you realize now it's worth it. Then you get the second chance. I feel like that lends a lot to people who survive suicide and say they realized they regretted it the second it was too late. Very "the view from halfway down"
Hunter laughing at the kid getting his head blown off is peak, considering he also laughed at the woman losing her baby in the Greylock video edit: stop arguing when its so obvious that they are having fun and messing with each other
@@jaxystarr7108 I see what you mean. But I do think some of his voices downplay the creepiness/horror of some of the stories, and they usually take me out of it.
I love Hunter being a gore lover and Isaiah being a supernatural horror lover making one of their expectations guts and stuff and the other wanting the most horrific skin boiling situations makes a funny back and forth when predicting what’s gonna happen in the story
I have came to a very difficult decision in my life and don’t know what would be the best choice to make. I’ve had it hanging over my head for months now and this story made me realize me my indecisiveness has put me in an emotional purgatory full of anxiety. Y’all being so quick to decide to feed the pig has given me the courage to make this decision because it is better than staying in this state im in right now and rather it be the right choice or not Im confident in making this jump now. Thank you both, your content goes far beyond just entertainment.
22:47 Wendi gentle parenting Hunter at this point absolutely killed me. I’m a nanny and the “are you sad it wasn’t a saw trap thing?” Was way too spot on lol
I guess even among survivors, the way we process and feel about it can be pretty different. I don't regret surviving-I have a new lease on life-but I don't regret attempting, either. I feel like that helped put a clean break between my old life and new life. It was also the catalyst that led to me actually getting medical help. Because of that, the judgement the story casts on the attempt doesn't really resonate with me. Disclaimer: Obviously I can only say this because the attempt failed, and it didn't immediately cause any long-term impairment. For many, this won't be the case, and as such it's a bad idea to attempt. My situation is textbook survivorship bias. If anyone is reading this and contemplating an attempt, just skip that step and go straight to the medical help step.
Right? The religious aspects of this also scare me. After my attempt, I always wondered if it worked, would I have gone to hell for it? I would hope the god we have would forgive us but whatever. Still confused about my faith do this day because of it.
@@belaknight945 that's what's so intriguing about the black farm, it's where the people are sent because God doesn't really know what to do with them. Like dude said in the story, a lot of good decent people end up committing suicide & can't rightly be judged for a temporary moment of weakness.
The whole bit at 22:50 of Hunter being a disappointed child and Wendi having to coax him back into doing the podcast was so funny, especially since it just came absolutely out of nowhere
Hearing them talk about rude people in comments makes me sad. YALL. If you don’t want to hear the kings have conversations then don’t listen to a podcast meant to discuss the stories. Just go listen to straight up readings. Stop being jerks. This podcast is perfection and if you don’t agree you shouldn’t be here.
I have sleep paralysis so like the concentrated version of a benadryl trip, involuntarily, at random, waking up from dead sleep, and paralyzed. I just listen to the doom soundtrack (or other music of similar energy) at night, and the only times I've had sleep paralysis since starting that years ago have been super short. The first was the sleep paralysis demon on the inside banging and pounding on my door screaming and yelling... in fear, trying to get out. He was stuck in there with me, I wasn't stuck in there with it anymore. I have since named him Steve and we have come to an understanding. He just works here and we now will just stand there awkwardly until it's over. Same thing happened to my dreams and nightmares. I have the... unique, and fun experience of feeling pain in my dreams when I get hurt. And I have Sci fi and fantasy type dreams almost always. But my nightmares are fun now, I'm not trapped in there with it, it's trapped in there with me. I'm still in the same situation, being chased by a monster, running from mob, delving into a cave, but instead of being scared and helpless I'm scared, amped up, and ready to fight. I have a weapon, or I'm just really strong and have power armor or something, and I fight and I usually win. It's fun, it can kinda hurt if I get stabbed or shot or beaten up or blown up or something. It really hurts but it's super fun. Anyway adhd rant over, dreams are cool.
We are never letting hunter live this down, he's gonna be pacing around his house after every recording punching himself in the head going "STUPID, STUPID, STUPID"
The note about the main character’s throat hurting the whole time is great attention to detail. I’ll admit I was wary with the apparent demonization of suicide at the beginning because I generally feel like that helps no one, but I do feel like the story turned that around to a more positive message along the lines of ‘please don’t do this’, especially with the statistics about how many people who survived suicide regretted their decision as soon as they acted on it. Suicide is a rough subject. I do feel like Danny is an allegory/parallel/whatever for someone who tried and survived suicide and is now doing their best to reach out and help others to recover and moved them away from being suicidal. That’s the impression I got by the end with the sense of humanity and almost compassion from Danny at the end of the story. He made it as easy as he could to go back and try again by undergoing something that will not be easy and Will be painful and traumatic, he knows it will be hard and did his best to ensure that the main character could undergo the process. I genuinely believe that at least some part of Danny wants people to feed the pig and to succeed. The blindfold also protects the main character from seeing what the Black Farm is really like as well as not having to see the pig. Healing hurts, recovery is fucking difficult, y’all, but you’ve got to do it because it will be better on the other side. Physical or mental recovery almost always hurts more before it gets better, but, like the woman in the story said, it’s better to face your fear and recover than to hurt forever. It’s hard, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the only path forward in a lot of cases and you can survive it.
I fully agree with Hunter about the “let’s go motherfucker” line, it’s a phase you hit again and again in recovery where you start to see results and start to improve or can see it on the horizon. In a way it’s that human spirit coming through.
Okay, addition, Danny could also represent therapists in a way. He doesn’t shy away from the reality of the protagonist but also doesn’t try to convince him to stay. Danny presents the options, gives the protagonist time to think about it, then does whatever he can to make the process of recovery as smooth and relatively easy as possible. He can’t make it easy, but he can help with the blindfold and guiding them. It’s not a perfect analogy but it’s there.
Gosh, you’re so right. S*icide IS a hard topic. I’ve lost three friends to it, and have tried to end my life six times, because I have debilitating chronic pain and doctors either didn’t believe me and thought I was faking to get drugs, or had me retry various prescriptions that made my pain infinitely worse or didn’t help at all. I tried 30+ different prescriptions and had various medical procedures done, and nothing. I ended up starting to smoke cigarettes, because, initially, they helped the pain a bit. Not anymore, though, and now I’m just left with a horrible habit I resent myself over. I WANT to live, just not in this never ending pain. It’s why, while I sympathize with the “Right to D*e” movement, it TERRIFIES me. There is an alarming number of healthcare “professionals” entirely calloused to patients’ suffering. They call it “discomfort”, minimizing your agony. These people will shrug their shoulders at patients with difficult to treat pain and think/say, “Well, if they’re suffering as much as they claim they are, it’s their RIGHT to d*e!” I want to see doctors giving patients a quality of life, rather than allowing death they deem “merciful”. It’s vaguely N@zi-like in its eugenics-type line of thinking. Disabled people deserve to live, too, and deserve a quality of life and to not spend every second of their lives in pain! My GP saved my life by prescribing me pain meds. Call me an addict if you want, it shows you don’t know the difference between physical dependency and actual addiction and will judge a person online without knowing their actual behavior. I’ve never made an attempt on my life since, as I can now have a job and do things I never could before because the pain was so bad. I’m so thankful I’m still alive today, since things are so much better!
@@HavianElaThis is brilliant! I was just discussing this very subject a few hours ago. I keep asking myself, how much is enough for a patient to endure? I know a young man who is deteriorating everyday from his condition and they have so many surgeries yet to do that he tells people he's "just tired." He's 18 and already suffered much.
The child whispered in a silky voice "You did a vewwy bad thing..." I opened my mouth to protest and only uttered a small noise before I felt his tiny fingers sting my cheek with a forceful slap. "shut up, Mimsyyyy!" The kid yelled, exasperated.
I can't believe how irritated Wendi is though. Like bro you're collaborating with Meatcanyon, one of the most absurd, crass, and grotesquely inspired popular animators on RU-vid. I feel like telling him to get with the program
My immediate personal theory is that if the pig spits you out, if you don't make it all the way though, you become a "pig made" thing as mangled as you were and that's 'hell', at that point you are in hell, which would be the same place but as something like the worm man
Yeah I’ve seen multiple places saying this is just hell. Not some Limbo. The pig is a lot like Lucifer in Dantes Inferno. Saw people saying Danny puts blindfolds on and tells them it’s corrupted Limbo to try and psych up the sewer slide souls. Since sewer slide gives you an opportunity to leave on this universe. He’s trying to help others escape hell.
I love the way Hunter looks away and refuses to make eye contact with the camera. It's so reminiscent of real kids getting scolded by their parents, but the parents don't want to make them feel bad
as someone who's attempted before, this story was so touching to me. it's by far my favourite out of the ones you've read so far. depression is shitty, it ruins your life, but it's familiar and it's safe. to recover is to feed the pig. to overcome your mental illness is to feed the pig. it's impossibly painful, but it's the only way out.
My friend killed himself over half a year ago, and I think about him every day, especially in these sorts of stories. He also spoke about how when you do it you’ll end up in a black nothingness for all eternity, and I don’t know if this is worse than feed the pig. Just being in a deprivation chamber-like thing, not registering anything but pitch darkness, not seeing anyone/anything else, your hearing, taste, touch not existing Yet he decided to go there anyway half a year later after telling me this
@@pumacatmeowI'm sorry about your friend. If it makes you feel any better, I don't think they're in a deprivation chamber sort of space, aware but unfeeling. When people talk about "nothingness after death" they usually mean their consciousness and awareness disappear. It might seem scary but I don't think it is. Do you remember the time before you were born? It's like that. Life after death for those who don't believe in anything isn't an eternity of nothing. It's a dreamless night where you don't wake up. It's peace.
It may have been nearly a decade ago when I first came across this story, I grew up with creepypasta and there were truly some bangers written in that era. The part that is insane to me is that I am still breathing. Still struggling as a 21 year old, my mind is it's own hellscape and I know I am not totally over everything, mental illness and trauma don't just go away. But I spent years wanting to end my life, I even tried it a few times, before and after I came across this story, I was never really religious, but I think deep down, even though the metaphor of the black farm was lost to me as a child, I know this story is one of those many things that turned me away from going down that path. I have my problems, but I can proudly say I haven't even thought of suicide in a few years now, I will die when I die, be it due to health, an accident, or old age, but rushing myself to that point is useless. I have been through enough and I think I deserve to enjoy as much time as I possibly can with those I love.
@@AngstUrnacht depends on what specifically triggers you. I think the story is, ultimately, life affirming. There are two sentences of circumstances leading to it, and a sentence stating what happened. It doesn't go into the details though, it's less than 10 words. There are some, like, judgy comments in the story but they're not meant to be agreed with, if that makes sense. If that sounds like too much, I'd skip this one.
As someone who regularly listens to this in an office setting I can say there is a very strange vibe when you're called into a meeting about the game plan for the week and all you're thinking about is Tommy taffy piledriving a family in smackdown vs raw
This is one of my favorite stories you two have read so far. This is so well written and the part with the pigs mouth, being able to perfectly paint a picture while only describing the feels and smells, nothing visual, takes talent. Not only that, but the story being told between the lines is just magnificent. Hoping there’s more from this author you two can cover!
i think the worst part of this story is the fact that the protagonist would never be able to talk about his experiences, even when trying to help other people, because nobody would take him seriously
I very much appreciate you Wendigoon. But Hunter's voices are top tier. They are the spice that makes the curry delicious. They are peak in both quality and entertainment. Yes. This is exactly what your audience deserves.
I was assuming Danny was one of the earliest souls to kill themselves, before the pig turned the place into what it would later become, before the pig noticed God was no longer paying attention. So, Danny would have the humility and humanity of someone who took their life (the compassion we see him show the protagonist) but he's also got the beaten-down-bitterness of someone who's seen this limbo for broken people become a hellscape that it was never supposed to be, for EONS now. Like he's normal looking because maybe he was smart enough to see where things were going and decided to place himself in his position to lessen the horror for the future damned who would now be experiencing a type of hell rather than just a simple purgatory. So he would look and act "normal" since he was there before the monsters and violence and therefore never got deformed like the other souls, he would have been untouchable from the start due to taking his place as the pig's right hand. I imagine the place originally was more like the world in the story "Kneller's Happy Campers" by Etgar Keret (a WONDERFUL story by the way, which would later be adapted into a movie called "Wristcutters: A Love Story", i believe)
Alot of Danny's hatred for people who commit suicide seemed like projection, him genuinely helping people try to leave the black farm is kinda sweet in a twisted way.
@@chilledburrito lol I feel that dude; I always get real amped to watch a new creepcast upload but somehow still get adhd-d as shit about halfway through and have to start it over to actually pay to attention to the first half, haha
@@zombiebratz202 oh yah for sure, as someone who used to exclusively project rather than address shit in my adolescent years, I definitely felt like he was too 😂. (Tbf to Danny tho, he didn't really have many other options but to adapt and bottle that shiat up. I don't mean to imply he was being childish or anything)
you guys have gotten so good at the story telling. all the sound effects and how hunter does all the dialogue its very immersive. you guys are awesome and always look forward to new episodes.
i don’t think it’s crazy. i love hunters voice acting too…. but i think he could have ramped it up a little slower and matched isaiahs energy a little better. but that’s the magic of this duo, and nothing to complain about
